01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15/33 | 8,502 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 18/36 | 4,376 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 219 ft is about 15°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.
| Conditions | Density altitude | Takeoff est. | Landing est. | Landing × 1.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard day (ISA, 15°C) | 219 ft | 2,481 ft | 2,133 ft | 3,200 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,419 ft | 2,715 ft | 2,260 ft | 3,390 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,619 ft | 2,949 ft | 2,386 ft | 3,579 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,672 ft | 2,959 ft | 2,392 ft | 3,588 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KMOB
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KMOB, the app flags a price stale after two weeks, and the route finder ranks every field within a corridor of your route by net savings after the cost of the extra cycle.
